GRAMBLING — On Saturday afternoon in the Fredrick C. Hobdy Assembly Center, Grambling men’s and women’s basketball teams had no answer for Jackson State, as they both added to their current losing streaks.

The Lady Tigers fell short to JSU 61-54 for their fourth straight loss and the men’s squad suffered a 57-46 loss for consecutive defeat No. 16.

“This one was on me — I take responsibility,” Laird said. “I just didn’t get this team ready enough for this game. The effort was there — our kids played their hearts out. It just got away from us early and we couldn’t never get enough going to get back into it.”
